Summary: I’m not an expert on Catholic religion, but to me this looks more like history and fable than information sourced by religious texts.
Asmodeus is mentioned in the book of Tobit which is some Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles.
There is a brief reference to Lilith in the language of Isaiah 34:14, but that reference does not source this priest’s information. He may be using references in the Talmud to draw information on Lilith.
I’m not sure what he’s using to trace Baphomet. There are Biblical references to goat demons (satyr is a relevant term), though that’s typically linked to Azazel.
As for his information on Leviathan, I’m at a loss to find the connection between Leviathan and sexuality.
Fr Ripperger is an exorcist priest. He encounters these demons in possession, knowing them first hand. He also studied the saints who experienced messages from God explaining spiritual warfare. He quotes St Thomas Acquinas quite often.
Oh they’re the masters of lies. But when a priest is in exorcism, they have Christ at their shoulder and He commands them to tell the truth and that is when they reveal truths. The priest can do nothing without Christ’s authority. Demons hate God but they respect his jurisdiction and follow his rules and laws strictly.
But where do they get that info if it's not in the Bible?

Can demons not lie?

And where do we get that info from?
